5. Categories of Cookies We Use

5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Platform to function. They may be used for login sessions, account security, CSRF protection, fraud prevention, payment flow integrity, language settings, and basic site operation.

These cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie controls because the Platform cannot operate properly without them.

These cookies help detect suspicious behavior, prevent unauthorized access, protect case submissions, secure payment flows, prevent abuse, and maintain the integrity of the Platform.

5.3 Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices such as language, region, interface preferences, cookie choices, and other settings that improve your experience.

5.4 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Platform, which pages are visited, how users navigate the site, and whether technical errors occur. This helps us improve performance, reliability, and user experience.

5.5 Functional Cookies

These cookies support enhanced functionality, such as saved form progress, embedded maps, interactive features, user dashboards, and case-management tools.

5.6 Payment and Third-Party Integration Cookies

Payment processors, identity verification providers, hosting providers, analytics tools, map providers, or other service providers may set cookies or similar technologies when their services are used through the Platform.

5.7 Marketing or Outreach Cookies

If enabled, these cookies may help measure outreach campaigns, understand referral sources, or improve communication about Intertrace. We do not use these cookies to sell personal data.

6. Cookies and Sensitive Case Data

Cookies themselves are not intended to store DNA-related, biometric, medical, or highly sensitive case content. However, cookies and related logs may be linked to user accounts, case submissions, IP addresses, consent records, fraud prevention events, or security logs.

7. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be placed by third-party providers that help us operate the Platform, including:

  • Payment processors;
  • Hosting and infrastructure providers;
  • Security and fraud-prevention tools;
  • Analytics providers;
  • Map or location service providers;
  • Identity verification providers;
  • Email and communication providers.

These third parties may process data under their own privacy policies and cookie practices. Intertrace does not control all third-party cookies.

8. Legal Basis for Cookies

Where required by law, we rely on:

  • Your consent for non-essential cookies;
  • Legitimate interests for security, fraud prevention, analytics, and platform improvement;
  • Contractual necessity for account access, payments, and Platform functionality;
  • Legal obligations where cookies or logs are needed for compliance, security, or dispute handling.

9. Consent for Non-Essential Cookies

Where legally required, we request consent before using non-essential cookies such as analytics, performance, marketing, or optional third-party cookies.

You may withdraw or modify your consent at any time through available cookie controls, browser settings, or by contacting us.

10. Managing Cookies

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • Delete cookies;
  • Block cookies;
  • Receive warnings before cookies are stored;

  • Clear local storage and session storage.

If you disable cookies, some Platform features may not function properly, including login, case submission, payment processing, account security, and consent tracking.

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no universally accepted standard for responding to such signals, Intertrace may not respond to all Do Not Track browser settings.

12. Global Privacy Control

Where legally required and technically feasible, we may recognize browser-based privacy signals such as Global Privacy Control for applicable opt-out rights.

13. Cookie Retention

Cookies may remain on your device for different periods:

  • Session cookies expire when you close your browser;
  • Persistent cookies remain until they expire or are deleted;
  • Security, fraud-prevention, and consent cookies may be retained as needed for compliance, safety, and audit purposes.

14. Security Logs and Consent Records

Intertrace may retain logs related to cookie consent, login sessions, security events, fraud prevention, IP addresses, device data, and account activity for operational, legal, audit, dispute, and safety purposes.

15. Cookies Used for Payments

When you make payments or use paid features, payment processors may use cookies or similar technologies to process transactions, prevent fraud, comply with financial regulations, and secure payment sessions.

Intertrace does not store full payment card details.

16. Cookies Used for Maps and Location Features

If the Platform uses maps, location search, geocoding, or interactive location tools, third-party map providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver those services.

17. Cookies Used for Identity Verification

If identity verification or KYC features are used, verification providers may use cookies, device fingerprints, liveness tools, security tokens, or similar technologies to prevent fraud and verify identity.
